Yes: For the most part yes. The modern dental implant design has been used for more than 30 years with great success. As far as bone grafts, there are different types of bone grafts. We can graft with bone from human donor, animal donor, or even your own bone. You should discuss which type of graft is best for you with your dentist as there are advantages and disadvantages with each treatment.

Very : The success rate for implants is in the high 90's%. Grafts are equally safe, but not always as predictable if they are large and complex. Most that are done are more simple and equally successful. Of course, all depends on the situation and the patient, as well as the skill and experience of the operator.

Very safe!: The implant itself has an extremely low allergenic potential. And the bone graft materials, even those from animals or human cadavers are irradiated and often washed in antibiotics (though check for antibiotic allergy issues) when placed in appropriate bone support, in a healthy, medically uncompromised individual, few dental procedures are as safe.
